Old flavored mung bean cake

Since ancient times, it has been said that medicine and food have the same origin. Mung beans have the function of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Mung bean cake using mung bean powder as raw material has always been a traditional Chinese early summer food. Modern food hygiene analysis shows that mung beans are rich in starch, protein, fatty oil, vitamins A, B1, B2, niacin and other nutrients. Regular consumption is very beneficial to the human body and has many wonderful uses. Mung bean cake can be divided into southern and northern styles according to taste. The northern style is Beijing style. It is made without adding any oil. Although it is soft in the mouth, it has no oily feeling. It is also called dry bean cake. When making mung bean cake in the south, you need to add oil. The taste is soft and delicate. The mung bean cake I made today is a typical Beijing-style mung bean cake with red bean paste filling. It is particularly delicious.

Radish and mung bean dumplings

There is a very popular delicacy in my hometown, which is commonly known as fried radish balls - grate green radish into thin strips, mix it with mung bean noodles, season it, and fry it until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Although it is fried food, the taste is fresh and unique. Now some restaurants have begun to include this dish in their menus, along with a bowl of hot and sour soup, which is called spicy and sour radish balls. It has vegetables, soup, and can also be eaten as a meal. It is very popular. I just don’t know if mung bean noodles are used. When I saw the bright green radish on the market, I suddenly wanted to eat this radish ball, so I bought it and cooked it. I think fried food is always unhealthy, so it’s better to use less oil. Then I remembered the takoyaki mold pressed at the bottom of the box. It only takes about 1 tablespoon of oil to fry radish balls. Looking at the radish balls rolling in the takoyaki mold, I felt that the down-to-earth common people's food suddenly had a lot of fairy spirit, and I was immediately impressed by my creativity, haha

Mixed Vegetables, Mushrooms and Mutton Hot Pot for Two

When winter comes, I always think of hot pot, which not only saves trouble, but also makes my whole body warm after eating, eliminating the chill of winter. The main purpose of eating hot pot is to relax and unwind, especially when there are snowflakes outside and the family is sitting around the stove, cooking mutton and chatting about home-cooked things. It is the most artistic, and it is a kind of enjoyment. When eating hot pot, my family loves mutton, especially my husband and son, who like mutton and fat beef. They told me not to buy fish balls, crab sticks, etc. They said that eating them is not as enjoyable as meat slices. If I have the money to buy fish balls, it is better to buy more meat slices, so I just buy meat slices. I am a vegetarian and like vegetables, vermicelli, tofu, etc., so I mix it with some vegetables and mushrooms. This hot pot meal for my husband and I was easy to make. The dipping ingredients for the hot pot were bought directly in bags. Because of the thick soup, the soup was full of flavor. Finally, we cooked the mung bean noodles with the clear hot pot soup.

Multigrain pancakes and fruits

The pancake fruit originally produced in Tianjin Wei came to Shandong and has a creative difference. The main thing is to change the fried dough sticks inside into a special thin and crispy one. This provides a lot of convenience for cooks to perform at home. After all, crispy noodles are healthier and easier to make than fried dough sticks. The most worrying thing about the pancakes on the street market is that they are thin and crispy. It looks golden in color and tastes crispy. In fact, the crispy dough is likely to have additives in the dough, not to mention the use of oil. If you make it at home, as long as you master the crispy making and batter adjustment, you can enjoy pancakes that are both reliable and nutritious. Moreover, any flavor of pancake fruit can be made - one: thin and crispy. We can make the dough with flour and eggs, roll it out to very thin, and fry it with olive oil (of course it can also be other good-quality fat) until it is golden and crispy. It has a good texture and is nutritious and delicious. Eggs have good shortening properties, coupled with the effect of frying, no additives are needed. If it’s too troublesome, then make it into Tianjin-style pancakes and just use fried dough sticks! Second: Batter: Master the ratio of powder to water, usually 1:1. If you don’t have a griddle at home, if you use a pan, you can add a little more water. The thinner batter will make it easier to spread and shape on the bottom of the pan. Mixing some whole grains or soy flour into the flour can make multigrain pancakes with more comprehensive and balanced nutrition. All kinds of coarse grains and white flour can be mixed in the ratio of 1:1:1... Today, let’s take multigrain pancakes and fruits as an example to demonstrate——

Crispy rice dish

Crispy rice is a snack with strong local characteristics in Tianjin. It was created during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It is characterized by excellent color, flavor and taste. The most famous one is made under the Dafulai brand. Speaking of which, this crispy rice dish has a great origin. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Ji's pancake shop business was doing very well in the market. One time, Emperor Qianlong passed by this place for a private visit in disguise. Qianlong, who was used to eating delicacies from all over the world, especially wanted to try the most delicious pancake roll with green onions. After eating comfortably, he would inevitably choke if he was anxious, so he wanted to order hot soup from the store. The store did not sell soup, but Zhang Lan, the shopkeeper, felt that the old man was well-spoken and had a high status, so he hurriedly called his wife, Sister Guo, to prepare some. This Guo Bajie came from a hard-earned background and grew up in hundreds of households. She was quick and agile in her work. When she saw a customer being impatient, she thought of the sticky rice and kimchi soup she used to eat in the past, which relieved her fullness and fatigue. Immediately, he tore the ready-made pancakes into pieces and dipped them into the vegetable soup, then added some oil, salt, coriander and other condiments, and a large bowl of hot clear soup was served. Qianlong was choking uncomfortably. When he saw the soup, he drank it without explanation. The pancakes were refreshing and the clear soup was smooth. Qianlong pointed at the soup and asked: What is its name? Sister Guo Ba thought she was asking her name, and then replied: Guo Ba... When Qianlong heard this, Guo Ba was reasonable, Guo Ba's Gaba! If you add another word for vegetable, it is called crispy rice. It is best to eat dry food, which is even better. The next day, Qianlong's bodyguard came to Zhang Ji Pancake Shop and said: Shopkeeper, your great blessing has come! Zhang Lan was confused. Do you know who ate pancakes yesterday? It is the current emperor Qianlong! The emperor praised your rice dumplings for being good. Seeing that you live a poor life, he gave you a special reward of 200 taels of silver. Zhang Lan was surprised and happy when she took the money, and immediately called out to her wife to kowtow and thank her. From then on, Zhang Lan replaced Zhang Ji with Dafu as the name of the shop, and the pancake shop was also changed into a rice cake shop. With the seal granted by Qianlong, the business of the rice cake shop was very prosperous. During the Guangxu period, Zhang Lan's great-grandson Zhang Qifa improved the technology, invented the big and small stew method and added six kinds of small ingredients. He continued to improve and improve it, and finally there is a famous Chinese snack that people praise today - Dafulai Guoba Cai

The pancakes I made today were just for the green onions. I love the seasonal green onions so much. If you don’t add glutinous rice, it’s also delicious if you wrap the green onions in pancakes.
